we already do limit freedom of religion in this sense. You don't get to wear a niqab as a teacher. Or to court. Etc.

I se it it as more religion getting no special treatment. So as I say, it's one extreme or the other re schools.

But before we can say that religion shldn't get special treatment, shld see if there's any reason all shouldn't have it.

No, I see that. I'll always go for as much freedom of expression & belief as I can.

There's always a certain amount of arbitrariness, yes. We can either become absolutists & then apply it to everything ...

on this topic, I think there's very little wiggle room. You either apply one extreme or the other with only marginal exceptions.

I've been here. Sanction nudity & public masturbation or accept you limit freedom & can limit anything.
